An amazing £1,735,000 has been raised by Guardian and Observer readers for our charity appeal in support of victims of war and conflict.

More than 15,800 readers donated to the appeal, which closed at midnight on Sunday evening. It was the highest sum raised by the annual appeal since 2016 and the 10th successive year that readers have given more than £1m.
